Many thanks mark for explaining. So the IDE is a real 32 bit or a real 64bit application. Am I understanding it correct that it is the same for the executable an LC user/devbuilds for Windows? the build of a stack is a real 64bit? Op di 13 apr. 2021 om 18:09 schreef Mark Waddingham via use-livecod

At the turn of the century, so soon after HyperCard's death, it was understandable that Mac users would be disproportionately represented among LC customers. For this to remain the case more than two decades later -- long past the time when most devs have never heard of HyperCard, Windows main

LiveCode is wy less responsive on Windows than on a Mac. The script editor hangs all the time, even when you turn off all the smart stuff. Removing it from defender and stuff helps but doesn’t solve the problem. LC is quite neglected on Windows and Linux. I understand that mac is the money
